      My father whom just passed away bought a 95 ZR1 brand new. It was the car I learned to drive manual in. Unfortunately it was destroyed along with everything else when our home was leveled by an EF4 tornado. I’m thinking of selling my Callaway to buy a C4 Zr1. We live not very far from Hennesey Performance and my father always wanted to twin turbo it. So I’m thinking of picking up where he left off. Or possibly creating a 415 stroker out of the lt5. It’s just an insane amount of money. Almost double what I gave for my 427dart ls next2 long block.

      One of the fondest memories I have with my father is our weekly trip up to 180mph. We have almost endless roads that are almost perfect for top end runs. I still have his old ZR1 registry sticker. Life begins at 180

    First time I've ever heard a C4 ZR-1 engine wide open, all the way to top speed. Beautiful noise. The car was very stable, too. I read the C4 was actually developed to be aero-stable up to 200 mph. You got up to about 185 mph, right? Looks like the Corvette engineers did a good job. The original ZR-1 engine always gets lots of praise, but the rest of the C4 is way under-appreciated, today. Thanks for posting!

    Somebody is gonna say it. Might as well be me. That ain't how you down shift bro. It's called Rev matching for a reason.

      @@glencollins4962 I know that's sarcasm but I'll play along as I'm just sitting here riding to work.. for those that don't know... you Rev match when you down shift for two reasons. One so that you don't shock the rear tires. And two so that you don't shock the power train.
      Rev matching when downshifting is simply matching the rpm of the engine to the wheel speed. Simply, if you're running 60 mph in 5th gear and you want todown shift to 4th, you want to blip the throttle to match the rpm you would be at if you were running 60 in 4th. Quite simple. Better for clutch. Eliminates accidental lock up. Less stress on powertrain and drivetrain.
      Now, I wasn't berating the guy. I actually was complimenting him for being brave enough to make the run under those circumstances. But as far as down shifting, revving the engine, letting the rpms fall back down, then dumping the clutch and having the rpms shoot back up..... well that ain't the way its done.
      You do it right, you only hear one Rev.
      This concludes today's lesson

      Yeah I think GM definitely knew what they were doing with the body shape and the aerodynamics. I think it's still interesting that it is the only double overhead cam engine put in a Corvette. Figures GM didn't make it either, they had Lotus design it and Mercury Marine I believe make it.

    Such neat cars. I remember seeing one at the dealer riding by on my bike. Inside the showroom. I’m a big fan of 80s tech having grown up then. That corvette ZR1 LT5 was amazing but it’s too bad they didn’t stick with it. I hear that sensors and things are hard to come by to fix the C4Z cars. I would still love to have one. A C5 Z06 is as quick or quicker but not faster I think top speed. I’d still have the C4 ZR1 king of the hill. Imagine 7lbs of boost on it. Now you have about 550-600hp.

    I had a 91 with some practical modifications, meaning mods w/o removing heads. Was considering a speed run on public roads in Nevada but didn’t get around to it before I sold it. Are you running stock diff ratio? How much horsepower? And sorry if I missed this in the comments but what is the length of the track and your top speed? Really miss winding a LT5 out. C4 ZR-1 is today a mostly unloved and obscure car. Yet such a capable car even by today’s standards. Thanks for sharing.
